Small Business Saturday
ALL WEEK LONG
​
The day after Thanksgiving has long been known as "Black Friday," though the origins of the name are oft debated. This is the kick-off to the holiday shopping season, when millions of Americans will descend upon their local shopping mall, where the largest stores have radically slashed prices in an effort to lure more and more shoppers there.
A recent move has made the following day, Saturday, "Small Business Saturday," when Americans are encouraged to shop at a smaller store, supporting a small business -- be it a locally owned restaurant, a small store, or, best of all, Batfish Aquatics. Generally, Batfish finds ourselves unable to really participate in Small Business Saturday, or the great holiday season overall.
During the holiday season, the amount of packages handled and shipped by the major carriers, especially USPS goes from busy to unfathomable. Thousands of temporary workers flood the carriers, helping handle this massive capacity. Boxes of fish take a little extra care, and a little more experience from a driver. They cannot be delayed, they cannot be lost and simply replaced from the warehouse, they cannot be dropped, they cannot have six pallets of other boxes stacked on top of them. I've found that this doesn't always happen during the super busy season, and I also try to give our carriers a little break -- I still stop by the post office at least weekly, but rather than with a box of fish, its with a box of cookies!
So, we are starting our "Small Business Saturday" early. From now until Saturday, 19 November, you can receive 20% off any freshwater fish orders placed from our in stock list at http://www.batfishaquatics.com/freshwater.php (excludes shipping). All you have to do to qualify is support another small business, any small business. Send us a picture of your receipt showing the name of the small business (you don't have to show us what you bought, or your what you spent -- just the name and the date) with your order, and receive 20% off your order!
It can be a bookstore, it can be a coffee shop, it can be a restaurant, it can even be another fish store. Just get out there and support the businesses that form the backbone of America's economy. And get a great deal on some awesome new fish.


(The annoying detailed terms and conditions: must send in copy of receipt with order to Sales@BatfishAquatics.com or BatfishAquatics@gmail.com. Applies only to freshwater fish. Applies only to orders placed during specified time frame, cannot be applied to previously ordered fish. Does not apply to shipping or other charges. Quantities are limited to number of fish on hand. Applies only to orders that will ship 21 or 22 November by overnight, or local pick up before 22 November.)
